i felt as if like i've got to hand in "homework" everyday.

coz. a report by the end of the day.
oh well,

i'm holding this set of product information in front of me, and I FELT like burning everything.
totally useless, coz it speaks Greek while Sammie reads English.

just crap sammie, it goes around.

11:41:00 PM let 'em go.

Market research is never an easy task. NEVER i tell u.

Dad's friend a.k.a MY BOSS, came to my dad's office today for some masala meeting.
What's the best place to spot where your subordinate other than the PANTRY.

gosh.

of all places. of all times. I was working DAMN HARD before the pantry break. -___-'''

Anyway, he came down to look for me. And his compliments shot me a high dosage of reassurance. At least, i'm on the right track.

And now, i'm chatting on MSN with my BOSS.

queer. weird. indeed.

Anyway, market research seems to be a crazy multi-tasking job.

oh, and by the way, did i mention that I'm doing on the fashion industry? yup.
First stop, Kenzo, and 49 more brands to go.

wish me luck!

5:55:00 PM let 'em go.

Question: What makes one to pick up a book, and actually starts reading it?
be it of subjects like economics, romance or even karma sutras.

Hm.. Or lets just say, most people of "MY" generation or era seldom have any direct relationships with novels anymore.

I actually thought of several factors that arises to the above mentioned,

*ahems*

(a)you're forced to flip through a reference book for your project.
(b)you just want to act nerdy(who does that anyway?!)
(c)you LOVE KARMA SUTRAs
(d)when your boss passed you a book and wants a book review from you in two days.

Answer for Sammie: (d)

sigh.

yup, exactly.

yes.
yes.

I read books VOLUNTARILY, but. this is new stuff ppl. -___-
Let's just start with today,
Sammie reports for work diligently, though its all the way at farrr TUAS. SHE MADE IT THERE! woohoo! bahs, anyways,

She works for her dad's friend.
Sammie kicks off her heels before entering the really spacious office. before setting foot on their cream-colour carpeted floor. She was totally mesmerized and captivated by the sea-view that the office receives, even though it's hazy , but still, it's nice to enjoy such views at times.

Boss and Sammie started talking, then they came to the topic on books (weird aint it, how we managed to even start talking about BOOKS -___- don't ask me, i have no idea too)
He stretched out to his far left, reaching out to the cupboard next to him.
There're so many books aligned after another which Ms.Quek immediately diagnose that it might be suffering from "chronic-overcrowding" symptoms. Seeing him retrieving that particular book out of the cupboard, I could literally feel the cupboard gasping for air. Hell yes.

Boss: "how long do you take to read a book?"
Me: "depends, but if i have time, two to three days should be fine"
Boss: "Ok, after two days you tell me what is it talking about"

oh yes,
at the end of the conversation. I landed myself with TWO books.
Silence might be the best policy at times.

Anyway,
It was really kind of him to treat us to Lunch.
[Raffles Marina Country Club] i guess it's the NEAREST place that offers food. TUAS seems seriously deserted.
Yachts parked diagonally, buggy cars could be seen lurking around every now and then. waiters in light-blue neatly pressed shirts, oh hot! lols. ok back to the topic. but my neighbour is HOTTER. (jojo must be feeling.. wOOhoo! lols.)
We had a perfect seaview. Hm... It's more or less like Punggol Marina, but Punggol offers more seasports activities, mainly wakeboarding.

Talking bout wakeboarding, i'm gonna take up kayaking courses. One star!
WHEEEeee~!

anyways, will blog lata. I've got a job to finish. sigh.
even though it's home-based but the task seems difficult to accomplish.
wish me luck.

4:37:00 PM let 'em go.

I think fatigue finally caught up with me.
He drove around while I snooze away into my lalalands.

And just two-three bus stops up is Serangoon!

No door charges. Just kindly remember, bring food okay. hahas. the "pot-luck' style. lols.

eh wait,

Hm, or is there such services like, "one-stop-mahjong-essentials" store?
Oh well, update me alrights!
Tags tags please!

Been exactly a week since I last blogged, OH I MISS MY BLOG. ***HUGS****
lols. come to think about it, have been more than two years that I'm a blogger.

I'm so over the late-nights, the cranky temper, the lecture notes, the writings, the memorizing work AND AND, THE EXAMS! woohoo!! And I realised that without blogging, i'm so mesmerized with the TV. like, hell yes.

Did up a to-do-list for this coming holidays,

write the love letters - **SHY**

start taking the damn theory test and get on with the actual driving
earn MONIES(i'm gonna work at the PC show! wan buy laptop FIND ME OK!)

Buy the mahjong essentials. LOL
well, that's about it. yet to think of any, but i'm sure there's more to come.

oh yah.

The three of us went down to Orchard for post-exam shopping spree earlier. We went separate ways after Huishi met up with "yipyip". lols.

I went back to Woodlands to look for Dad, but realised that I came back empty handed.

But, I BOUGHT STUFF. and you know what, i left it at the shop. -____-

i called huishi immediately asking if she's still in town. Felt so grateful when she said that she'll go back to check for me. OMG, I LOVE HER MAN!!!!

Waited for half an hour and she just called me,

Huishi: "I ask that aunty but she say dun have lei"

Me: "huh.. omg omg. den where did i put!? oh shit. yada yadas.." (trust me, I was frantic)

Huishi: "ni hen sad ah?"

Me: YAH LOR!

Huishi: " Hahahs! got lah!"

ME: OMGOSDSKDJSAKD.#!@$!@#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

felt UBER relieved and overjoyed when I heard that, thanks Huishi! hahas. though i was cheated at first, but nevermind! lols.

i'll blog later when i'm back home. =]

ciaos!

i'm still procrastinating.

I think today's the worst.
I had couz and uncle to pick me up at my place after lunch, to have lunch together. how ironic.

Headed to the bank to finish up some errands, then dropping me off at Winsland.
Past week I was trying to finish up the surveys, what a dread.
Felt totally good when I handed in the stuff. =]

Since i'm already at somerset, might as well do some shopping.

Initially I planned to head back home straight but figured that I wont start work anyway.
walked around for quite sometime, did enough shopping. Wrapped it all up within two hours and board bus 162(man its damn long) swapped two more buses.

Alas, home sweet home.

Dad came home with my fave food, and he did the "pig snort" at me. >.< ROARS.

I'm still not starting. hahas.

tomorrow shall be.

I'm not lazy, it all comes with proper strategic planning. LOL. oh yeah

9:18:00 PM let 'em go.

Monday, August 14, 2006

i always fail to understand why i'm always the one dragged out of bed on sundays, and why not the other two rascals.

it had been such a routine which almost made me hate it already.

Anyway, i saw another four loaves of bread today. It's marked as improvement, better than seven. =]

Mum and I decided to make our very own odeh odeh(do u spell it this way? no idea)
Well, being the only two females in the family who don't cook, well for me definitely a YES, as for Mum, i'm just know that her rice always tasted like porridge to me.

It was my first attempt.
Mum claimed that she did this before. in school.
I just went, "orh"
on second thought , "Oh wait. u mean, when You're in SCHOOL?"
That's like, -____- oh wow.
she could've given birth to TWO jieyings if I were to calculate how long was that.

She was busy preparing the ingredients with the maid, i was lying at the couch doing the usual channel surfing.
But joined in for the "rolling in" ceremony. rolling means... roll and put the sugar in.. yarrrr... uhuh huh.

we did no more than twenty.

Curious bout how it tasted?

hm.. i'm always a great fan for odeh odeh(i think i spelt it wrongly but nvm! u get what i mean.)
And i could proudly say that I've tried the best before.

hm... the one that we made... was. A TOTAL FAILURE. but appearance wise, fantastic.
Coz i was so FOOLEd by it, which made me sink my teeth into the whole thing straight.
Nonetheless, we knew where it went wrong.
I'm trying nx sunday again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i thought i wasted time today, being a total couch potato. But come to think of it, I did something. hahas.

1:24:00 AM let 'em go.

Sunday, August 13, 2006

many times, i'll compile a playlist whereby it'll be filled with songs that somehow... lets just say, triggers emotions, not the happy hormones that is.

It seems that subconsciously I'm letting myself into this mess, which i know it'll be really hurt. And . Sometimes i can't understand why I'm doing this, maybe it's what she said "lack of self control and discipline". Perhaps it is. But I felt that things aint that simple, never will they be.

It's such a perplexing turmoil , for one to think through it.
But I'll never fail to remind myself to pull on the handbrake, for, " everything will be fine in the end " , and "it will be over" .

Recalling the short film that I once watched, it brought mixed feelings which no other movies/novel/stories did.

Oh, and something that left a deep impression on me was this,
"Love disappears when one least understands it"
question, just how many did understand what is it all about? hm... i wonder.

so what is all the above that I'm trying to put across?

I'm having PMS soon. maybe it is an excuse, or perhaps it is during such times that I finally realise what's bugging me all along. NO idea =(

On a lighter note, I caught the last France fireworks @ marina bay. I must say it's many many times better than NDP. =] I'll blog more bout it tmr, after sista huiqi send me the photos.

So tmr will be a better day w/o uber emo entry. i hate posting such >.< stuff, but seems to be the only avenue to vent whatever I had . And I'm good now!

nights people!
ciaos.

1:20:00 AM let 'em go.

Saturday, August 12, 2006

seriously,
when i have too much time on hand, the more i misused it.

been cooped up at home since school ends, and I aint starting on any revision any time sooner.
Anyway, like what I always believe, "never start too early, and never too late"
I'm going to start forming this UBER HIGH enthusiasts study group pals, just kidding lahs. lols.
ok. Halfway through blogging, i suddenly had this familiar image appearing from the back of my mind,
Cow. with bananas on its head. Dancing. Singing.
"It's a sunny yellow banana day!"

OK.
NO MORE bananas.
if not i need a psychiatrist.

You see, staying at home, facing the malicious TV 24/7, snacks, drinks, more cheezels, all within my reach.
this is so sinful.

I'm going to meet sistas later at 2.30pm
The usual turkish restaurant.
really missed the get- together sessions that we used to have.
more photos, promise. =]

12:41:00 PM let 'em go.

Friday, August 11, 2006

don't think too much babe, everything will be fine.

12:14:00 PM let 'em go.

Wednesday, August 09, 2006

right, didn't blog for 2 days. hm, i can't really recall much that happened though.

nvm. i'll just do the random thing that i always do. lols.

Event 1:

hm. not sure if i mentioned that one of my goldfish (X-X) died a week ago, well, yeah. i did.
So i'm left with two now. Guess how many goldfish I started off with? 9! =(

Anyway, I kinda realised that one of them seemed to be super bloated at the belly area.
First thought was, overeating but doesn't seem like it. After much investigation and asking weird qns like "how fishes mate" around,
Sammie pronounced Ms.Goldfish pregnant.

Went to get water plants this morning with dad.
I bought like many many which kinda filled at least a quarter of my fish tank.
Seriously I have no idea what to buy!!!! I bought a variety of them, just to be save, in case they're planning to have a millions of dozens of decendents. lols.

Oh.
Both of us were just cruising around, and i kinda started "Baby talk"
Surprisingly, I got a response. -___-
WAHAHAS.
It's all about "Goo-goo-gaga-bu-buu"

woohoo! **impersonating weird taxi-driver featured on Singapore Idol commercial**
it's woohoo and woohaa or woohee?
Someone correct me please!!
LOL.

2:07:00 PM let 'em go.

Monday, August 07, 2006

ok. my head's spinning.......

i'm feeling feverish.

Ok. this is so caused by the excessive inhalation of incense smoke + soot + whatever that is emitted while burning those things that you burn. -____-

And i have a presentation tmr, i dun have the "pre-script" out yet. I felt like i'm going to faint.

JIEYING IS STRONG.

Grow Grow Grow, we love Grow, see how fast i grow, see how i fast i grow, so tall so smart I drink Grow, delicious creamy Grow Grow Grow, we love grow , we love grow. - sigh.

12:57:00 AM let 'em go.

Saturday, August 05, 2006

massive blogging in a day -__-

anyway, i'm munching on cheezels. yummies.
i have no idea where's my phone now.
and, good news! I'm going for the actual NDP~ AGAIN!

cousin called me out to watch fireworks earlier, but, i'm just dead tired.
Having this awful feeling, i know i'm tired, but i just can't get to sleep.

sigh.

when things are left unsaid, it all comes to a standstill.
How i wish . i wish.

10:40:00 PM let 'em go.

hm. ironically, I didn't slip off but I watched through the whole performance though.
Not as an audience. But at high-up-and-quite-mighty( i feel) Convention Control room.

I sat beside the main coordinator/controller(what's the term for those people doing the lightings etc?) and asked millions of questions.
There were like hundreds of buttons EVERYWHERE.
We engaged in several small talks though, I wasn't such a "small-talk" person but curiosity got the better side of me.
He told me that he had been in this line for 8years, I was like, "WHOA!"
He said, "no lar, the other guy even more, 16 years!" pointing towards his fellow colleague.

I could really feel the tension and frustration building up at the start of the whole event, the Emcees are nowhere to be found even though the background music had stopped, stage spot light ready-on-set.
They were like, "Wah? Emcees stage fright ah?"

*chuckle*

Then it was more and more and more speeches to go, really dry and boring I must say.
I kinda felt guilty coz I was so talkative which might be rather distracting to the controller. Apparently, he's very professional, external factors have shown no evident influence on him. LOLS.

It was really short, 11.30am and I'm out of the Convention Centre.
Went straight to find dad at his office, hafta pray for some seventh month thingy.

I wasn't a purely devoted buddhist, i'm a buddhist coz my parents are. yeaps.
My jaw dropped when I saw what they actually prepared.

Three HUGE joss sticks right in the middle of the carpark of the factory, accompanied with two huge candles placed at both sides. (almost as tall as me, yeaps, and really WIDE)
Behind this, I saw a "sea-of-red-buckets" -___-
Imagine ah.

44 buckets aligned in grid-lock fashion, each bucket filled with sundry goods. Literally had this feeling that a gentle prod would cause everything to fall out of place. oh yeah.
Around these red buckets, there were bags and bags of incense papers which formed the perimeter.
Right at the back, lies a table which measures up to at 3-4meters long.
One big roast pig, roast ducks, roast chickens, fish, more big joss sticks, etc.
It was all filled with FOOD, FOOD and MORE FOOD.
And i could barely find a space to even place a green tea bottle.

Walking inside the office, what greeted me was the familiar homemade QUEKS style buffet. It's so nice that there wasn't much leftovers. I had to help out by walking around the whole factory to place candles and joss-sticks at every corner, and what's so infuriating was that it was VERY WINDY. we found this lighter which SINGS "ai-ya-yi-ai, you are my little butterfly, green black and blue ..." Had a great time using it, super funny. LOLs.

After all the makan makan, we had to start burning incense papers.
I couldn't imagine how much we're burning.
Being quite environmental-friendly(quite contradicting though, coz we caused air pollution too)we had this steel barrier measuring up to one meter in diameter wide and standing at least 1.2 meters tall. At least they wont fly around yea.

We didn't had just ONE, but TWO of those.
And, you know what, it was so totally filled to the brim.
I teared like no other people's business while trying to throw in the incense papers. boohoo!

I felt that such an event wasn't just because it was a tradition.
Such festivals actually draws family closer to one another, coz it's just a rare chance whererby everyone have the chance to be together, drink, eat, share our laughters.

Especially for families like mine, when the number of uncles I have needed more than 10 fingers to count, the number of cousins i have that would made up more than 10 fingers and 10 toes and +++. YIPPPEEE!! many many people! HUAT AH!!!!!

It's a really happy occasion!! =] Despite the frequent choking due to excessive smoke emitted from the joss sticks and soot.

6:51:00 PM let 'em go.

psst. Eukgin, the woman who resorted to underhand methods aka xia lan method here eh!

OH SO DRAMA AND EXCITING!!! LOLOLOLS.

9:24:00 AM let 'em go.

I'm here blogging in school, yes on a saturday =]
You know why?

Supposedly I'm here to attend WIL/KEYS closing ceremony, and it starts at 10am.

Oh! Guess what time is it now? 9.08am!

I mixed up the timing.

HATE IT PEOPLE HATE IT!

most probably due the lack of sleep i had, I slept at four, woke up at 7 for THIS.

At least there's Yuhong here running all around the place, he took me in(how kind) and I'm now in the Convention Control room.
Nice embience though.
What a consolation prize i had, not everyone have a chance to come up here yea? But i paid a HIGH price.
Now that they're doing the dry run now, and the Emcees don't sound that fantastic. Maybe coz it's the DRY-RUN.

oh. i hear yuhong speaking now. And one of the random people said this, "You want to sit beside Mr Chia anot?"
FYI: Ah chia is our fellow principal. woolalas.
I think they're rehearsing the present-fat-cheque-to-principal scene. LOLS.

When i walked in, everyone is in formal-dress code, they're the runners of the event what duh
-__-

but Sammie is wearing casual though!

Feel so out of place seriously.

I'm going to slip off lata! Wish me luck people!

9:12:00 AM let 'em go.

Friday, August 04, 2006

After I&E lesson, it took us(huiqi and me) sometime to decide where to go.
After millions of repeated questions we asked one another, "how ah how ah?"
We decided on Jieyin's place. For me, the reason for going was that, ~~partially~~ totally because of Dong Dong (her new doggie!)

We bought mac then went up to her house. Had our own fun with Dong Dong while waiting for the rest to join us, then dinner! Oh and i realise, having inner double eyelids aint that bad, not hopeless yet. LOL. After 18 years, I SAW MYSELF having double eyelids! all thanks to jieyin =] LOL.

Oh. and we helped mummy miaoxia trimmed her eyebrows.
Jieyin the executor, Jieying the observer cum instructor, Brenna the cutter.

Had lots of sushi and laughter, really missed this feeling.
Been quite awhile since the seven of us really come together to have a proper dinner.
Miaoxia went off soon after dinner. Then the rest of us decided to settle ourselves at starbucks, for more gossips! lols.

We sat there for hours, had a roaring time while making the "happy-birthday" video for our birthday girl.
I think we laughed non-stop throughout the session.
We took Two whole hours(maybe +++) - just for a short 30 secs video.

like what they always say,
"It takes 10 years of practice off-stage for a one minute performance on stage"
we TRULY get it.

YEAH.

12:15:00 AM let 'em go.

Wednesday, August 02, 2006

It took me awhile to put up this song.

It's not exactly a happy song, but, it just made me felt better.

I had a dream we went away,

left the city for a day,

you took me southwards on a plane,

showed me Spain or somewhere.

1:54:00 AM let 'em go.

sigh.

while i was trying to get up earlier, my palm happens to, yar, meet the sharp point of the ear stud. It went through the skin, then sinking even deeper into some muscles i suppose. and i saw the scar right on the what they-always-say, "life-line" of the palm.

It's actually nothing.
But, I can't help feeling uneasy.

painful. it was. but, something felt even worse, and it's inside me.
since I alighted Bus 74 earlier today, i just felt i would throw my lungs out. nauseous.

Maybe it's just eating into me psychologically.
nothing to do with physically, coz i feel fine. i can skip, i can jump, i can run, i can walk.
It is just the thoughts, Assumptions, guesses, the what-ifs, maybe, should be, i think so-

I'm just doubtful again.
SIANS.

12:10:00 AM let 'em go.
